Sostratos

Sostratos was an Argive Greek physician and apprentice of Hippocrates.

Biography
Sostratos was born in Argos, Argolis, and he became a physician's apprentice to Hippocrates, a pioneer in contemporary medicine. Hippocrates saw promise in Sostratos as a physician, but he saw him as an even better apprentice. When Hippocrates left Argos in a hurry during the Peloponnesian War, Sostratos remained behind to do what he could. He had to endure the verbal lashing of Hippocrates' religious rival, the priestess Chrysis, and, in 431 BC, she helped the mercenary Kassandra to find Hippocrates in exchange for Kassandra bringing some supplies from the clinic to Hippocrates at the Cave of Pan.
